I’m comfortably seated right now at Miami International Airport, waiting to board my flight to the tropical paradise known as Nicaragua. I brought my netbook along because I don’t have my own computer back home, and I don’t feel comfortable looking at pr0n on my sister’s desktop.

And now thanks to the wonderful people at Google, I can start using my sweet Acer Aspire One before I even get on the plane to post on the Greatest Website on the face of the earth.

Google is providing free internet access on a number of airports through January 15. It’s their way of saying Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas to you too Google. I love you.

I’m reading here that they’re also providing in-flight internet, only on Virgin Atlantic Airlines though. Fucking Virgin.

Gregg is reminding me right now that I owe you guys a Nicaraguan Photojournal. I’ll get on that as soon as I land.

Apparently, Finland has become the first country in the world to declare broadband internet access as a basic human right, and is demanding that by July 2010 all citizens of the Power Metal country by excellence be provided with at least a 1 MB/s connection. And by 2015 that requirement will jump to 100 MB/s.

In other news, Nicaragua has no idea what the fuck the internet is.
